certainly we can expect there will be questions about the relationship with russia, the nsa situation what are the extreme or limits what spying in the u.s. or spying in terms of data collection might include. and then things like the domestic agenda. it certainly had been the hope of the white house that before congress had left town in august that an immigration bill might be signed. well, the senate got that done but not the house. so what can they look forward to in the weeks and months ahead? can anything on that subject be done? of course, when congress does get back to town, the president will have to deal with them on issues like the budget, the debt ceiling. the president has made clear he doesn't want to negotiate on the debt ceiling so there are big issues still ahead. i think the most important things to look for are any new pieces of information about that threat level. is the president able to be a bit more exclusive about that and his own sense of the relationship between the u.s. and russia now. presidential news conferences are a great opportunity for news to be made.
